By Marie Parker


A lot of people love horses and this is because they can see many benefits from owning one. But there are also some who see a lot of disadvantages of this, but these are often hidden by passion. And indeed, having the passion can really cover up the major flaws which come along with owning a horse. So in this article, you will know about some of the cons that people are considering.

Costs. You might really love to own one, but however, you will surely not love it upon knowing the big holes in your wallet that would come along with it. Horses are usually sold separately with the necessary accessories. Some of these would include brushes, reins, buckets, and saddles. You may see look at some horse photos for checking other needed accessories.

Aside from the mentioned accessories, providing them with veterinary care, food, and shoes is also very important. And thus, buying only one horse only already takes much amount of costs. Sometimes, these animals cannot avoid to have fractured legs or arms because of some reasons. These can possibly be deleterious to them if you do not have enough budget for the treatment.

Time. It would be very important to care for them all the time. Showing care would mean that you provide a time to clean their coat, change their bedding, to ride them as a way of exercise, brush their mane and tail, remove the feces and dirt from the hooves, and feed them. Summing up these tasks would take about few hours to finish.

Smells. Like human beings and also with other animals, their foods taken would come out to the opposite side. This manure may be quite smelly. Because of this, flies get more attracted to it and because these flies are referred as nuisance whenever the horse reacts to them. This make the flies fly toward you as well.

Training. Most of the horses will need to undergo some necessary trainings. Some of them would easily spook and there are also some who would engage into bad behaviors. These unwanted bad behaviors usually are present in adult horses. The previous owner of it will surely not tell you about this and you will really have a hard time in fixing this. And thus, seeking the help of a professional is suggested.

Health issues. There are times when horses would encounter some health problems such as those minor ones or those serious issues that can be life threatening. Hooves are the most common shelter for parasites, thus, these must be checked regularly. To administer routinely the vaccines must be considered and also preventive care. Preventing colics may be hard or impossible at times.

Attachment. This is really not considered as advantage because owning one is said to be a price. Mostly, owners get easily too attached to them, especially if they passionately do love them. However, there are some events in the life of an owner that can change everything and keeping them may no longer be necessary.

So in conclusion, facing a lot of disadvantages is hard to avoid. But most of the time, it is true that having the passion can help in overcoming these cons. The creatures are intelligent and sometimes, to forgive the mischievous acts they have done would be easy due to cutest grumble.
